“Engineering Ideas That Can Save Lives”
— Liam’s Story
At just 16 years old, Liam Raizo M. Lingat is already thinking like an engineer—curious, inventive, and determined to build solutions that make a difference.
A Grade 10 student and a four-year KIDS Educational Foundation grantee, Liam has developed a strong passion for science and technology. He dreams of becoming a future robotics engineer, inspired by the possibilities of innovation and automation.
Liam comes from a supportive family that nurtures his interest in technology. His mother is a housewife, while his father works in a cybersecurity company, exposing Liam to the world of technology and innovation at an early age.
Even with encouragement at home, pursuing robotics is not easy. Science research and robotics projects often require materials and devices that can be costly.
Yet Liam continues to explore, learn, and experiment.
Through the help of the KIDS Educational Foundation, Liam uses his allowance to support his school and science projects, especially those related to robotics.
Recently, Liam and his high school team conducted research on robotics and automated emergency response systems. Their project required purchasing various devices and components—expenses that can quickly add up.
Despite these challenges, their hard work paid off.
Their innovation qualified for the Regional Finals, a significant achievement that reflects their dedication and creativity.
Liam’s team developed an Automated Emergency Detection and Alarm System that:
- Operates wirelessly
- Does not require internet connection
- Uses long-range communication technology
- Sends urgent alerts to authorities and government agencies
This innovation is designed to provide fast emergency notification, especially in areas with limited connectivity—potentially helping communities respond quickly to critical situations.
At such a young age, Liam is already working on solutions that can save lives.
